About this Course
One CBT treatment protocol (designed specifically for Health Anxiety) has proven to be highly effective - and continues to be the most recommended psychological treatment for this problem1. The theory, and treatment overview, of this protocol has already been presented in our online course (link?).
This, in-person, skills workshop now provides you with an opportunity to master the key therapeutic skills involved in this protocol. Skills and techniques such as Socratic Dialogue, Cognitive Restructuring, Guided Discovery, Behavioural Experiments and Graded Exposure must be properly understood - and practiced – if we are to use them to good effect.
Our capacity to take in new information is limited: years of attending one-day training events has taught me this first-hand! One advantage of a blended/hybrid model of learning - being able to focus just on skills (having done the theory online) - allows us to run shorter in-person training events. We believe that a morning-only event maximises our learning experience – no more trying to stay awake after lunch!

Learning Objectives:
Focusing on the protocol covered in the online course (Salkoskis et al), this workshop delivers:
- a variety of case examples (specific to Health Anxiety)
- lots of ‘hands on’ practice of the cognitive and behavioural techniques in this protocol
- an opportunity to present your own ‘hard-to-treat’ cases and clinical experiences
- a discussion about further ‘up-skilling’ and appropriate CBT supervison/training supports in treating Health Anxiety.
Who Should Attend
This workshop is tailored to those who have already completed the Health Anxiety online course - and who wish to become even more skilled in using this CBT protocol. If you have not completed the online course, but have enough knowledge of this protocol, you are also welcomed to attend this skills event. As with each of our ‘integrating good CBT’ workshops, this half-day event will qualify for 4 hours CPD credit.
